CHINESE POSTAL KATES. REPUDIATION OF PEKING ORDERS

A Chinese woman, whose lover was said to have deserted her, attempted to commit suicide on two separate occasions recently, the first time by drowning and next by poisoning. Her life, however, was saved on both occasions, and yester day she appeared before Mr. Lindself to answer for her unfortunate action.

Inspector Cargill said the defendant bad lots of friends and many of them called at the charge-room on the pre- vious day and offered to bail her out.

In his telegram the General says:-embarrassed. The prelimary purpose of the estab lishment of postal and telegraph services was and should be to benefit the people and not to profiteer. In the event of loss being incurred by either or such adminis trations, the Government should grant subsidies for their maintenance and should not shift the bärden on the people.

The woman promised dot to repeat her former actions and expressed regret for what she had done.

His Worship bound her over to keep the peace in the sum of $100.
